Community Outreach

PADAN has provided more than $1.3 million in funding to officer-driven, community outreach programs. This includes initiatives like Gowns for Girls, which gives teenaged girls all the resources they need to have an amazing prom experience and Seniors’ Christmas, which has officers visiting longterm care facilities across the region to spread holiday cheer. These types of programs allow officers to make emotional connections to the community that go beyond traditional calls for service. Officers build trust and put smiles on people’s faces by “Going The Distance”.
